Description
About the Distillery
The Glenfiddich Distillery, founded in 1886 by William Grant, is one of the most iconic and renowned whisky distilleries in Scotland. It remains family-owned to this day and is known for its pioneering spirit and commitment to craftsmanship. Glenfiddich was one of the first distilleries to market single malt Scotch whisky globally, contributing significantly to the popularity of Scotch whisky worldwide.
How this product is made
Glenfiddich 18 Year Old is crafted using traditional production methods, beginning with the selection of the finest malted barley. The barley is milled and mixed with water to create a sugary liquid known as “wort.” The wort is then fermented with yeast to produce a liquid called “wash.”
The wash is distilled twice in copper pot stills, a method that preserves the character and flavor of the spirit. The result is a high-proof spirit known as “new make.”
The new make is then aged for a minimum of 18 years in oak casks. Glenfiddich 18 Year Old is matured in a combination of American oak casks that previously held bourbon and European oak casks that previously held Oloroso sherry. This dual aging process contributes to the whisky’s complexity, as it gains flavors and characteristics from both types of wood.
During maturation, the whisky interacts with the wood, drawing out flavors of vanilla, honey, and dried fruits from the bourbon casks, and a rich, spicy, and nutty character from the sherry casks.”
